speeddial/Conference Key
The IP Phones allow you to configure a softkey/programmable key/expansion module key to be
used as a speeddial conference key (speeddial/Conf key) while remaining in the current call.
This key allows a user on a call, to conference another party at a pre-defined number while
remaining in the conference call.
For example, while on an active call, a user can use the speeddial/Conf key to dial a recording
service and have the resulting conference recorded.
How it Works
If you configure a softkey/programmable key/expansion module as a speeddial/Conf key, and
you press this key while on an active call, the focused line changes to the dialing line. A Cancel
softkey displays on the phone (only those phones that have LCDs larger then 3 lines), allowing
you to abort the conference speeddial if required. The message "Ringing..." displays below the
number when the far end is ringing. The message "Conf. Unavailable" briefly displays when a
conference is already in progress or when the CT handset is in use. The active call is not put on
hold when the speeddial number is dialed.
Limitations for speeddial/Conference Key
The following are limitations for the speeddial/Conference key:
• The CT handsets are not supported.
• The feature is not compatible with centralized conferencing.
The softkey/programmable key is called "speeddial/Conf" in the Web UI drop down list. In the
configuration file, use "speeddialconf" as the softkey type.
Note:
If currently in a conference, the speeddial/Conf key is disabled on
the active call.
Note:
On the 6739i, you can configure a speeddial/Conf softkey using
the IP Phone UI also. For more information, see the Aastra Model 6739i
IP Phone User Guide.
